Two weeks into the war with Iran, President Donald Trump said that he had concluded that high oil prices benefit America.

"The United States is the largest Oil Producer in the World, by far, so when oil prices go up, we make a lot of money," the U.S. President wrote in a Truth Social post on Thursday. "BUT, of far greater interest and importance to me, as President, is stoping [sic] an evil Empire, Iran, from having Nuclear Weapons, and destroying the Middle East and, indeed, the World. "

"I won’t ever let that happen! Thank you for your attention to this matter," he added.
